EFF letter to FTC on X consent order (2 July 2026) [pdf]

> Grok AI generated large amounts of CSAM and nonconsensual intimate imagery

Grok Imagine has been considerably locked down in terms of intimate imagery over the last few weeks. E.g. Harley Quinn used to be one of the easiest characters to manipulate, with or without any resemblance to Margot Robbie. No more. X still serves up explicit hardcore, and Imagine used to get at least in that neighborhood, but that has been squelched. For prurient purposes, nerfed. Not at all limited to CSAM or real people. The pressure they're getting from all over seems to explain it.

Why is the EFF arguing for less freedom on how computers can be used? The EFF should be against the government restricting computing freedom.

Musk spent $300 million in the 2024 campaign exactly for this kind of situation. He already bought himself the result.

But Trump just asked Musk for SpaceX stock to “seed US kids’ savings accounts” [1]. That trading of favors is almost explicit.
